@drsarteschi.bsky.social Sovcit did this to her car. It resulted in the car being towed and a cop ripping the plate off of it before hauling it away. Sovcit was not pleased.

I just realized I would be a good member here. Grocery store jobs I’ve had: produce, butcher, food sales & demo cook, accountant, assistant store manager. I like working in grocery stores.
We need extra member labor this week - can you bank a shift? Many different jobs and times are open…

Ok palate cleanse time. In case you missed it, here's my most popular post ever
4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day.

So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga

People act like the Trump administration is extreme, but consider that in the past 12 hours alone, his White House has announced that the Coast Guard has reversed its recent decision to tolerate swastikas and nooses, *and* that Trump does not in fact want to execute members of Congress.

I have too much production experience. Everything I write has to have logging. "Let's see, oh, yes, definitely a DEBUG level. And rotation; we have to have log rotation. Configurable level filtering. Just a few CLI options. UUIDs for job identification. Can't just have printfs."
